The Abandoned Neighbourhood’s House

“…while
walking late at night, she heard her woman wailing from an abandoned house…”

Rita stays
at the relatively tranquil town Bentong in the state of Pahang. Rita spends the
weekend “crashing” at Cindy (and her family) house which is located in a quiet residential
suburb of Bentong.

After
dinner, they had arranged with their friends at a nearby Starbuck coffee outlet
where they chit-chat the latest happenings among themselves. It was past 12am
when Rita and Cindy were walking back to Cindy’s house in a residential housing
estate.

Cindy was
walking slightly behind Rita and Cindy was busy chatting with her boyfriend on
her mobile phone, when Rita noticed a woman was wailing and sobbing. In the
badly lit environment of the neighborhood she realized that it was coming from
an abandoned house which was covered with overgrown grass and weeds.

By that
time, Cindy who was busy yapping happily on her phone had walked past Rita, who
was curious wondering who could it be, crying so loudly in the middle of the
night. She was looking at the abandoned house, when out of her corner of her
eye, she saw a flash of white apparition in the “living room” of the
abandoned house!

Rita was so surprised and frightened and at the same time was still peering at the “living room”,
when Cindy turned back and said, “aiyoh!...seen a ghost or what” Rita who
quickly turned back at her friend and asked whether she heard the sobbing sound
and especially the white apparition in the abandoned house. Cindy insisted that she did
not hear or seen anything…and decided to get away from that house ASAP.

While they
were eating at the kitchen the next morning, Rita asked Mrs Cheng (Cindy’s
mother) about the abandoned house. Mrs Cheng was reluctant to talk about that
place except it was a bad place. The two girls managed to persuade Mrs Cheng to
tell them and she heard from the neighborhood ‘aunties’ that the house was
abandoned a long time ago and even before they moved in. A young couple
together with her young daughter lived in that house. The man who lost his job
and was drunk at the same time killed his wife and their daughter. Since that incident, many
people have heard of so-called strange and weird occurrences in the abandoned house.

Was Rita imagining
things, when she heard a woman sobbing that night and whether she was actually looking
desperately looking for her daughter after all this years.
